When I enlisted in 75 my recruiter told me exactly what to expect about the rate chose. No lies.

That's good news. My point is this- Soldiers have bitched about how their recruiter lied to them since before the days of Caesar. The typical situation tends to go like this:

Young Recruit- Thinks recruiter is God

Soldier after basic/AIT and at first duty station- Recruiter is God-D***ed

Young NCO on his way to recruiting duty- "I'm gonna be a God!"

Tired, worn out NCO after a tour of recruiting duty- "Hey, I can always get out and run for office, I have the skill set".

Hence, CNN, again- distorts the picture to push an anti- Bush, anti-war agenda. Same old, same old...
